That "car" is the Mercedes Racing Truck.           This vehicle has appeared in previous Forza Motorsport games, but is making its debut in the Horizon series in Forza Horizon 4. In case you were wondering, it looks like this:            T

There's A New Lap Time King At The Nürburgring

Image
           The Nürburgring in Germany is one of the most famous race tracks in the world. The main car brands that have been fighting for the quickest lap are Lamborghini and Porsche. At 6 minutes and 47 seconds, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS took the title.            Lamborghini, of course, wasn't very impressed and evolved the 2015 Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce to get the title back.             Lamborghini took down the previous leader last year (Porsche 918) with their  Huracán  Performante. Only a few months later, the Porsche 911 GT2 RS took it back for Porsche by nearly 5 seconds.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------            The Lamborghini Aventador Superveloce Jota in high performance mode, promotes 500kg of downforce, which is a lot, even though the McLaren Senna has 800kg. The Senna was built to have high downforce. The SV is an upgraded Aventador, and the Jota is an upgra

More Changes For Forza Motorsport 7 Are Coming (Including The Removal Of Prize Crates)

Image
             Turn 10 Studios gave us an update to day regarding the future of Forza Motorsport 7. The changes within Forza 7 are important to keep fans playing their game, and it looks as if they're making big changes.              To stop cheaters in online lobbies, Turn 10 has been working to reduce corner cuts and having rammers in multiplayer penalized. Drift scoring and more steering angle has been worked on as well.              Prize crates and paid tokens in Forza 7 never really worked out. So now, prize crates only give Driver Gear, mods, and badges, removing exclusive cars. Prize crates will be removed from the game this Winter. Paid tokens, a secondary currency that are purchased through microtransactions will be removed this Winter as well, and will not be in Forza Horizon 4.              Turn 10 Studios is making Forza 7 a better game than it ever has been. To find out when these features are publicly available, make sure to check back here.

Buying Forza Edition Cars In Forza Horizon 4?

Image
            This article is going to be all about some things you may have missed in the Forza Horizon 4 Winter Stream. If you missed the stream, we recapped it here .                         Above, we can see the Forzathon challenges. There are weekly daily and hourly challenges, but in the top right of the menu we can see that, if you complete enough Forzathon challenges and save up your Forzathon Points, you can actually buy Forza Edition Cars. Forzathon has been expanded to a whole new level in Forza Horizon 4. The weekly challenges now have stages, there are 3 daily challenges, and in the bottom left, we can see that if you complete 7 daily challenges and 1 weekly challenge, you get bonus Forzathon Points. This isn't even mentioning the hourly Forzathons that can give you even more points. With this many challenges, it almost seems like it will be impossible to run out of challenges.              If we look at the Forzathon Shop, you can see a number of things to bu

The Crew 2: Review

Image
           The Crew 2 is a game developed by Ivory Tower and published by Ubisoft, and is a successor to The Crew. The Crew 2 Gold Edition was released on June 26th, and the Standard Edition on the 29th. Players of The Crew thought that the game would move on from the United States for the second title in the series, but it turns out that The Crew 2 kept the same general map, but improved the physics and graphics. While that might have turned away a number of fans, the amount of new features kept them playing. The Crew: Wild Run Expansion brought monster trucks and drag racing, and they were added into the base game of The Crew 2. The main new feature is the addition of planes and boats, which made the game feel different compared to other generic racing games.            This review is broken up into different sections. The Map            While the map is similar to the first game, it is way different. The addition of boats gave the map more rivers and streams throughout the

2 New Cars Are Coming To The Crew 2

          The Crew 2 will have been out for a month in four days (review for it coming in 4 days) and the first set of new monthly vehicles is coming soon. Season Pass owners will get the cars today, and everyone else will be getting the cars to their car list on August 1st. For Season Pass owners, the cars are free and have been added to your garage. The cars go on sale on August 1st, but the prices are unknown.           2014 Ferrari FXX K - Touring Cars           This is one of the most exclusive and insanely fast cars ever made. The car's radical design and crazy performance help the limited-edition become one of the fastest track cars, and it is not slowing down in The Crew 2. 2016 KTM X-Bow R - Street Race           The unique design of this car makes it recognizable from any distance. The first production car and 4-wheeled car in KTM's history set the bar high as it will turn heads just about anywhere.           The 1.0.3 patch has been released along wit

Forza Horizon 4 Winter Stream Recap

Image
             The third of four Forza Horizon 4 Streams showcasing each season in the game took place today. This week was Winter, which is one of the more controversial seasons . So we're gonna recap it for you.              Starting off, we learned that driving supercars in the snow is possible, before this many people thought that this was not going to be possible. This made players worried because the realism isn't there in Forza Horizon 3, where you can drive a hypercar at 200mph offroad. That has been balanced out, but players don't have to wait a week to drive their favorite car, if it is a race car. Forza Horizon 4 is not going to be like Blizzard Mountain where that is meant to be heavy snow, in Forza Horizon 4, the depth of the snow will vary.              The map was revealed last week during the Autumn Stream , but we saw that the map will change with the seasons, so during winter there will be snow on the map.              The stream went into detail on Car

How One New Feature Could Ruin Forza Horizon 4 (But it probably won't)

Image
             In the community, there has been a bit of a disagreement on how seasons will either make or break the game. On one side, people are saying that seasons are the best thing to happen to the Forza Horizon series in quite a while. The other side is saying that you don't have control over the seasons, because they change weekly, so it is one of the worst things to happen to the series.              For the group that likes the implementation of seasons, it makes the world more dynamic and feel more alive. However, with a new feature as big as this one, there are going to be a lot of people that don't like it because it's new, and they are unfamiliar with it. Overall, a large amount of the people who feel that way will eventually come around later throughout the game's lifespan, as long as the seasons live up to the hype.              The only bad thing about uncontrollable seasons is that, the chance for you to not like one of the seasons exists, and for t
